SSgt Bob Olson(L), was leaving PCS, and DOc was a day
or two away from relocating to Ubon, as well. From left: Bob Olson, SSgt. Doc Ball, A2C
Dick Hartsook, SSgt Don Trumball, SSgt Charles Black, Engineer, A2C Dave
Settles, SSgt Jack McAfee. About the only time you saw 505's was on the
day a person was leaving for civilization. Hartsook and Settles were
wearing what was considered the official "uniform of the day" at NKP.
everyone else had tailored fatigues, make (or modified) locally. Subdued
name tags and USAF stripes were still fairly new, and only used at that time on
the jungle fatigues. Notice that only the "kids" were GI!!!.
